With 21 years in the Army, I know the sacrifices our heroes make. Now, as an Army retiree running a business in Columbia, I’ve come to deeply admire the Big Red Barn Retreat’s mission. I am a board member of this organization. I’ve seen firsthand the invisible wounds veterans and first responders carry. The Big Red Barn Retreat provides a safe space and time for real healing and growth. Programs like Warrior PATHH and Struggle Well focus on post-traumatic growth, helping our heroes turn pain into renewed strength and purpose. If you believe our heroes deserve this support free of charge, please join me in donating to the Big Red Barn Retreat this Midlands Gives Day. Your generosity will help veterans and first responders find the healing and hope they deserve.

The Big Red Barn Retreat provides Heroes (Veterans, Active-Duty Military, and First Responders) with transformative programs and training so they can thrive and live the life they desire.
